Recipe: Apple Strudel With The Most Awesome Crust Ever

I watched Jamie Oliver doing his magic in the kitchen the other day. He had this awesome idea to boost up a  puff pastry from the supermarket. It's genius! I decided to try out the same with a simple apple strudel.

DIY Fashion: From Old Necklace To Fabulous Blouse

 I had this broken necklace for some time and didn't know what to do with it. Then I found a cute green blouse that I haven't worn for ages. I still liked it but it was somehow boring and definitely needed a makeover.

Ethnic Fashion Inspired Statement Necklace

It is amazing how using the same technique and material can give so many different results. This was the most delicate necklace so far. I actually did the same as I did with this and this necklace. The major difference, though, is that I used a chain with much smaller links and smaller beads and sequins.

Recipe: Delicious Sunshine Strawberry Tart

It is strawberry season, finally!

Yesterday we spent a perfect sunny day in the garden in our family house. While Nerma and our brother were planting flowers and mowing the grass, I surprised them with a strawberry tart (not only to escape the "hard" work in the garden:))

"Keep Calm And Wear Heels" Totally Girly Wall Art

After I made the string art piece, another overly girly friend had birthday and I decided to make this painting for her. I knew she had planed to do some renovations in her apartment and that she wanted to add more purple details. In fact, she thought about  painting an accent wall behind the couch in dark purple. That is why I thought this painting would fit perfectly above the couch:)

DIY: The Most Popular Statement Necklace So Far

The necklace that I posted earlier was a real break-through for all my future designs:) Next, I made this one using the same technique:

 felt + chain + beads + sequins + embroidery floss

I just love the color combination. It is so versatile and it is among my favorite pieces so far.  Once again, just like with the previous necklaces, I can't believe that I actually made this. You must trust me, this is really not difficult at all and all of you would be able to make something similar!

DIY: Stylish String Art

Perhaps I have mentioned it before, I am a big Pinterest addict. This is where I have seen string art for the first time and since then I was looking for an occasion to try out this technique. I also wanted to add something unique to my first piece.

And then it hit me: I'll make an awesome birthday present for a girly friend (who's name starts with an "N"). What's unique about my string art piece is the zebra background. All the string art pieces on Pinterest usually have a sterile white background. I wanted it to be more funky.
